The Jongert 16m, frequently referred to in historical records as the Jongert 1600 or the 16S, represents a definitive era of Dutch maritime engineering where robustness and luxury were considered inseparable. Built primarily during the late 1970s and 1980s, this vessel was designed during the fruitful collaboration between the Jongert yard and esteemed naval architects like Willem de Vries Lentsch and Van der Meer. As a heavydisplacement, ketchrigged cruiser, the 16m was engineered for the specific purpose of crossing oceans with a level of stability and redundancy that few modern production boats can emulate. Constructed with a steel hull and often an aluminum superstructure, the 16m established the "Traditional" line's visual identity, characterized by a clipper bow, a generous beam, and a powerful ketch profile that remains a hallmark of the Jongert Shipyard legacy.
